People embrace who you are here because we believe that we are all human, and we are all walking each other home. Peace and Love.

For anyone of any faith/faithless background, seeking inclusion-diversity-social justice, this is the place for you. They are clear and straightforward in their stance to accept everyone and anyone as they are. This includes members of the LGBTQIA community, the disabled (physically and mentally), and anyone needing support. The location is off the beaten path, but if you know where Best Buy is then you're just down the road from it. Services are a mixture of everything from simple songs to mediation to sharing personal joys and sorrows. They host AA Monday through Friday at noon, recognize all major holidays (religious and non-religious, i.e. Earth Day), and were the site of the first inter-racial school in Augusta back in 1964. They also host Thai Chai, interfaith services, pagan services, and yoga. I share all of this because I went to visit recently. When it comes to leadership, I believe it has to be spoken from the microphone and not just one-on-one. To hear the words of inclusion and love coming from the podium was refreshing. I honestly do not know if this will be a permanent place for me, but I do know I will be visiting again at least a few more times. I will also add that the members were all welcoming. There is a time after the service where everyone gathers to chat and catch up on how life is going. Just a genuine group of people.

Recently I visited this church for my grandmother's funeral. This was here home church, and she…read moreloved her church. She had been a member here for years as many years as I can remember. The last time I remember going to this church was at my uncle's funeral and that was in my teenage years. In later years she was unable to attend service because she was a double amputee and was unable to muster the strength to go to church. But her church family never forgot about her. They would always come by and check up on her and even bring her communion when it was the Sunday that they had it. But my recent visit was a very sudden and solemn one. I had lost one grandmother a few years ago but to lose two was a bit much. The church sits on the corner of Wrightsboro Rd. and Forest St. There is a unpaved lot in front of the church where you can park. It's kind of tricky getting in there but once you are in there it's fine. I decided to get there early and wait for the family to arrive there. Walking in the vestibule there were several people standing around waiting for the funeral to start. Entering the sanctuary there were several people already there as well. I guess they thought the same thing as I did get there early. The seats were very close together and made it hard for people to come in and out of the pew. But that was a minute factor due to the fact of why we were there. The pastor, Rev. Clyde Hill, Sr. preached a great eulogy and my grandmother would have been pleased at what he brought out that day. Her funeral was a full house and many important people in the CSRA were there in attendance. Many of her friends spoke well about her. They gushed over her love for her family, community service, and ceramics. They also talked about her love of food. I think that's where I get it from!!!! All in all, this was a beautiful service fit for a queen and I'm sure she was so pleased looking down on us from heaven!!!

My family moved to the CSRA looking for a solid church that teaches the Bible, is sensitive to the…read moreHoly Spirit in worship, and a strong youth program. We also wanted to find a place that valued diversity and was honoring of multiple generations, not just placing emphasis on one generation over the other. What we found in New Hope Worship Center exceeded our expectations in every one of these elements. Their leadership team preaches the word passionately, yet with a humility and reverence that I find to be super refreshing. Their worship ministry makes room for the Holy Spirit and has so many incredible worship leaders instead of just hearing from one person all the time. Their children's, student, and young adults ministries are active and growing, and I'm blessed to see how many nationalities are represented throughout the congregation (they hosted an international potluck that blew us away). As an army brat, I've been used to "church shopping" every time our family was reassigned, and unfortunately sometimes you find that local churches can be clique-ish. It can be hard to integrate, especially for military families. But I've never felt so immediately welcome and embraced by a church community than the one we have here. I'm so glad we found New Hope and made them our church home!

I attended the service for my cousin's baby dedication. I must say I was so pleased, we decided to have our son dedicated at the church.From then we where attending every Sunday. It is a pretty good drive if you don't live in the South Augusta area, but it is well worth it. It is a true Bible teaching, family promoting place of worship. Bible study is great and it gives you a great outline of what the upcoming message is about. They provide great teen/children church. I love the fellowship and the ministry as a whole! Oh yeah I got married there in December 2013! The love of God and his son Jesus is truly in the place and the people of the congregation. So if you are ever in a the mood for what the Word say's this is a great place of worship to visit!

Tonight's service reminded us that God is always with us, even in those moments when we feel we are co lately alone because he was born into darkness. The service also discussed how God doesn't expect us to be perfect and how many people compare their lives to what is portrayed on social media and in hallmark movies and that this is not a true comparison. No one's life is as perfect as a hallmark movie nor what is typically shared on social media. They livestream their services also, in case you're unable to attend in person.

4.5 stars rounded to 5…read more This is an outstanding church that is filled with good, friendly people. It is huge. There's at least 3-4 different sections where you could view the service. Depending on what kind of worship music you like, you can take your pick of which section to sit in. The main service area has an upstairs and downstairs area. Each area has a pretty good view of the main stage, and they also display two large display screens that show what is going on. There's always plenty of room to sit. Constituents are predominantly white, although I do see the occasional black, asian, or hispanic family in the pews. There's two different locations in the Augusta, GA area: -3203 Washington Rd with services at 0920 and 1045 -777 Horizon South Pkwy with services at 0930 and 1115 I've never been to the Grovetown location so I speak only for the 3203 Washington location.. Child care service is available for all ages. It is free and awesome. You simply sign your kid up with the assistants and your kid is in the system for easy check-in and check-out. There is a Children's Ministry (706-922-7030) and a Preschool Ministry (706-922-7042). They even offer weekday preschool and childcare services. Reasons why I love this church: 1. Head pastor is a pretty good speaker. I would give him an A-. Not quite the best I've heard, but he is definitely up there. He is funny without being disrespectful. And despite his jokes and history lessons, he never digresses too much from the bible that it becomes an issue. His messages are on point. 2. Excellent child care services. Assistants and teachers are organized, caring, and extremely friendly. 3. Nobody pressures you to provide "offering" or donations. I've been to some churches where they stick the offering bag right in your face. This church does not even pass around offering bags or envelopes. There's literally zero pressure. 4. There is no pressure for you to join any worship/bible study group or after-service activity. 5. Outstanding band and praise team. 6. Free coffee and relax areas Some things I dislike: 1. It's a little TOO big. I get lost in the halls quite often. 2. A little impersonal. So the drawback of being a big church with no pressure to join groups is that there is no sense of fellowship unless you actively seek it. Once service is over, majority of folks file out and go straight to the parking lot to leave. It is difficult to walk that fine line between being intrusive and being totally detached. I think this church could make a little more effort to get folks involved in fellowship activity. It could be something as small as having a meet and greet event immediately following service. But just having something would be nice(r).
